Google One's dark web report feature for Indian users: Explained

In a move aimed at boosting online security, tech giant Google is launching the Dark Web Report feature for its subscribers in India who are part of the Google One program. The Dark Web Report feature, according to Google, focuses on safeguarding users' crucial details like name, date of birth, contact number, email, and other particulars from falling into the hands of cybercriminals who often engage in identity theft and financial fraud. Activating the dark web report option involves creating a personalised monitoring profile, wherein users input and select the specific information they wish to track. Moreover, the Dark Web Report feature doesn't just identify exposed personal information; it also pinpoints related data that might have been compromised in data breaches or hacking attempts.
